This book discusses the study and analysis of the physical aspects of social systems and
models, inspired by the analogy with familiar models of physical systems and possible …

Spontaneous social coordination has been extensively described in natural settings but so
far no controlled methodological approaches have been employed that systematically …

In our work the process of opinion formation in the human population, treated as a scale-free
network, is modeled and investigated numerically. The individuals (nodes of the network) …

Recent research has revealed that complex networks with a smaller average distance and
more homogeneous degree distribution are more synchronizable. We find, however, that …

Evidence to date suggests there may be a link between interpersonal synchronization and
sense of connectedness to others in both music and non-music tasks. However, earlier …

A model of epidemic spreading in a population with a hierarchical structure of interpersonal
interactions is described and investigated numerically. The structure of interpersonal …

Networks with a community (or modular) structure arise in social and biological sciences. In
such a network individuals tend to form local communities, each having dense internal …

Echo state network (ESN) has recently attracted increasing interests because of its superior
capability in modeling nonlinear dynamic systems. In the conventional echo state network …

We analyze a collaboration network based on the Marvel Universe comic books. First, we
consider the system as a binary network, where two characters are connected if they appear …

Complex clustered networks are ubiquitous in natural and technological systems.
Understanding the physics of the security of such networks in response to attacks is of …
